Does closing credit card accounts voluntarily damage your credit score?

Asked by Quandry (45points) March 17th, 2009

Over the years I have opened retail store credit cards to get a promotional discount on a purchase. Some of these cards I have never used again, but they show up as open on my credit report. Does closing these accounts voluntarily have a negative impact on my credit score?
